Overall very clean and well appointed condo. Smooth check in process and good communication. Very convenient location to activities, hiking, shopping, bars and restaurants. Only downside was proximity to major road (a little loud on patio) and the view was only seen when standing. If you sat down on patio you were staring at concrete wall. Overall, I would stay here again.

Our first morning there we were awoken to the sound of men pounding and walking across the roof and scraping the roof off at 7 AM. This is unacceptable who schedules roofers whenever you have guest coming our host rep replied he was sorry, and he had told him next not to be on our corner of the apartments it was so loud. We had traveled a long distance and were very tired and wanted to rest. We were not offered any compensation. We tried to have a conversation with the manager and all he had to say was I’m sorry there was an emergency leak if he had told us ahead of time we would have canceled, but he did not bother to call and let us know that they were gonna be roofers, waking us up at 7 AM. They only stopped when we called and complained to him and he canceled the roofers for that day.

This rental is in a very safe and beautiful part of Albuquerque, New Mexico, located in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains, one of the most beautiful views!We came in to ABQ for a family/siblings reunion and were able to return to our apartment to recoup from the excitement of events to a quiet, peaceful and comfortable resting place. The amenities in the apartment were perfect for us. There is a backyard patio that is a perfect place to watch the night sky... especially in one of the beautiful rain storms that pop up from time to time and bring an amazing smell of rain mixed with the sand and rock. I wish we had been able to take pictures, but so much time with family kept us busy.This is a great location and apartment to relax and enjoy a peaceful reprieve from the chaos of work, play or just exploring all the beauty Albuquerque has to offer.

Comfortable weekender

We stayed here for a couple of nights at the end of Spring Break and got to spend some really nice time with our college kid. The space was clean and the kitchen well appointed. Very comfortable space on a quiet street. We'd for sure stay here again and will keep the place in mind for future visits.

Terrific VRBO!

The place was super clean and very well stocked. The access was very easy and timely. No fuss, no muss. The bed comfy..the view terrific...We were happily surprised to find a dog crate so didn't have to set up ours. Loved the suitcase holders, pinion coffee supplied with cream and sugar and the parking was ample and well lighted. Can't think of any way to make it better! Great value and a lovely place to hang your hat:). Thank you!
